A guide to former tenant arrears

Former tenant arrears are unpaid debts left on a property after the tenant has moved out.

We will refer your former tenant rent arrears to the Council's debt collection agents. They will manage your account and contact you to arrange repayment.

Failure to make payment, or an arrangement for payment, can affect your credit status. It can also affect any rehousing application you make.
